The San Francisco based company ClassDoJo has created two animated characters, Mojo and Katie, that appear in their own show. ClassDojo’s goal is to use these characters to help teach teachers, students, and parents about “growth mindset”. The idea behind “growth mindset” is that intellect and the skills of students are not set in stone and that they can be advanced and improved in strength over time. The animated shows can be viewed on the ClassDoJos’ “Big Ideas” website and on YouTube and will include a discussion guide as a tool for teachers and parents.ClassDoJo worked with Stanford University’s Project for Education Research That Scales (PERTS) to create the videos. PERTS is a group that performs studies on the drive and flexibility of students, became interested in working with ClassDoJo because of the large amount of teachers that they work with; approximately 1 out of every 2 classrooms use ClassDoJo.
Dave Paunesku, PERTS executive director, Kahn Academy, and City Year have incorporated efforts to use the animated characters and shows to distinguish the actual concept behind “growth mindset” and the assumptions teachers and parents have about the academic idea. The concept they wish to convey is that the process of learning is an important one, that it’s more than just hard work and struggle, and that efforts used during learning can be strategized for the best possible outcome.Parents and teachers can access an online toolkit that offers lesson plans and practice exercises that introduce the “growth mindset” idea and process to students. ClassDoJo’s animated shows will reiterate the ideas from the online tool kit and have been advised by the PERTS team. Teachers will be surveyed prior to and after watching the animated series and are hoping that they resolve that the Mojo and Katie characters will help students to want to be involved with the “growth mindset” process and how the students are getting help learning the concepts from teachers in the classroom.
ClassDojo has not exchanged any monies with PERTS and this experiment with the “growth mindset” animated series as a way to distribute larger amounts of information to teachers, parents and students is the companies first.

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has plans for an expansion in the upcoming years. This expansion would include a pavilion right on the water, a pedestrian bridge linking the pavilion to the new Kennedy Center, the expansion would also include an addition of educational spaces, rehearsal spaces, offices, and dining space. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts had set a fundraising goal, and with the generosity of the community, this goal has been blown out of the water. Instead of ending the fundraising campaign, it has upped its target by another fifty million. According to a Kennedy Center press release, the campaign has reached $135.9 million towards their expansion. The high donators included: David Rubenstein, The Boeing Co, Jacqueline Mars, Stephen and Christine Schwarzman, David C. Bohnett Foundation, and Adrienne Arsht, the Dick and Betsy DeVos Family Foundation. The generosity of donations has given The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts the chance to truly be something spectacular!

He became vice president in 1984 and according to Wikipedia, “when Dick DeVos became vice president of Amway’s international operation in 1986, sales outside of the U.S. accounted for about 5 percent of overall sales. When he left the position six years later, they had grown to 50 percent of annual sales.” Then in 1991, DeVos become president and CEO of the Orlando Magic basketball team. He used his business expertise to manage the team far beyond expectations. After owning the Orlando Magic basketball team for a little over two years, he left to rejoin the Amway business again. He rejoined the Amway team as President, succeeding his father. According to Wikipedia, “DeVos retired as president of Alticor in August 2002.”

Not only was Devos an amazing businessman, he also believed in charity and spends a lot of his time and energy getting involved in charitable organizations. With his wife beside him, he has developed The Dick & Betsy DeVos Family Foundation, which serves as an aid for local and global communities growth and viability. The Dick & Betsy DeVos Family Foundation has developed Art Prize, which is a cultural event that takes place for nineteen days each Fall. There is art displayed on three square miles of the city and art winners receive some very generous cash prizes.

It is a tuition-free charter public high school that focuses mainly on those interested in not only aviation but students interested in technology, engineering, and math are given hands-on opportunities to cultivate their passion. Another charity that is close to The Dick & Betsy DeVos Family Foundation is the Potter’s House, which focuses on Urban students.

There are many benefits associated with unrefined, yellow shea butter. Not only does the moisturizer replenish the skin, but it also promotes hair growth and health.

What’s in Shea Moisture?

Shea butter contains linoleic acid, stearic acid, and oleic acid among other nutrients. The moisturizer also has various vitamins that protect against the sun’s rays and other natural elements that can be damaging to the body when excessively absorbed by the skin.

How does it benefit hair?

The ingredients of shea butter are also great for the hair. Many individuals who have followed a regimen that included the moisture have reported hair growth and strength. Some have even tried shea butter after being diagnosed with extreme cases of alopecia and found favorable results.

One of the reasons why shea moisture is such a wonderful nutrient for the hair is because of its coating abilities. The butter serves as a sort of glaze that repels heat and harmful chemicals. You can use the blow dryer and straightener in moderation without worrying about heat damage or hair loss so long as you apply shea butter before styling strands.

About Eu’Genia
If any company knows a thing or two about shea moisture, it is Eu’Genia. Founded by former Wall Street analyst, Naa-Sakle Akuete, Eu’Genia offers the purest form of shea butter around.

Shea nuts that are used for the company’s line are supplied by a corporation that is run by Naa-Sakle’s mother. Many of the women who work at the supply company are mothers themselves and understand the power of shea butter when the product is given to consumers in its purest form.
